Fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships for research in Speech and Language Technologies (SLT) and their Applications

** Applications now open for last remaining September 2020 intake places **

Deadline for applications: 31 May 2020.

Speech and Language Technologies (SLTs) are a range of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches which allow computer programs or electronic devices to analyse, produce, modify or respond to human texts and speech. SLTs are underpinned by a number of fundamental research fields including natural language processing, speech processing, computational linguistics, mathematics, machine learning, physics, psychology, computer science, and acoustics. SLTs are now established as core scientific/engineering disciplines within AI and have grown into a world-wide multi-billion dollar industry.

Located in the Department of Computer Science, at the University of Sheffield – a world leading research institution in the SLT field – the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Speech and Language Technologies and their Applications is a vibrant research centre that also provides training in engineering skills, leadership, ethics, innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsibility to society.

An opportunity to have an expenses paid trip to an employability event with Immarsat in London… Here is the message I received:

We have an exciting opportunity for your students that I wanted to make you aware of. Inmarsat, the world’s leading provider of global mobile satellite communications, are working with TARGETjobs on a bespoke employability event and they have specifically asked for your students to be there!

This event is perfect for your students who are studying computer science, IT, electrical engineering or any degree relating to telecommunications, space science or data science related degrees.

Attending this event will give your students the opportunity to:

• access all areas of Inmarsat’s global satellite control centre and network operations centre with VR experience included

• get stuck into a fun case study – great practice for assessment centres in an informal environment

• speak to graduates and senior members of the team at Inmarsat about the exciting projects they could be working on

• fast track their career and find out what makes a successful application by speaking to Inmarsat recruiters

Where is it?

Inmarsat HQ, London (we can reimburse travel expenses)

When is it?

We have two events coming up which will both focus on different subject areas (if a student cannot attend their best suited event, they can attend the other):

9 March

Computer Science

Data Science

Space Science and Robotics

20 April

Telecommunications

Electrical Engineering

In order to attend, students just need to fill in a quick registration form by visiting our Be Inmarsat website, and then I’ll get in touch with them.
